The New York Yankees rotation is going to be one of the best in baseball in the near future.

Carlos Rodn signed a six-year, $162 million contract with the Yankees. He will join a rotation that already included Cole.

Rodn had a great campaign in the year 2021. He was selected to the All-Star Game for the first time after going 13-5 with a 2.37 earned run, 0.96 WHIP and 185 strikeouts in 132.2 starts.

He was selected to the All-Star Game for the second year in a row after going 14-8 with a 2.80 earned run average and 1.03 WHIP in 31 starts for the Giants.

As the Yankees aim to win their first World Series title in more than a decade, Rodn will be expected to follow in their footsteps.

The Yankees' "stacked" 2023 rotation is already being talked about.

The Yankees starting rotation is stacked as hell. I love it. They told us they were gonna make moves this winter and they're doing it. They're not done either.

It was always just a matter of time. Yankees had their sights on Rodon since day one and did not want to go past six years.

On paper, this gives the Yankees one of the best rotation in history. A long way to go but doesn't get much better than Cole-Rodon-Sevy-Nestor-Montas https://t.co/NePD6wbr6i

Rodón is an exciting addition to an already impressive Yankees rotation. They are now a better team than the one they ended the season with.

Jack "CouRage" Dunlop @CouRageJD

Stacked starting rotation if everyone remains healthy. Hugeeeeee

Andy Martino @martinonyc

Huge get to make the Yankees better than last season, when team won AL East. And Frankie Montas is still there as an x-factor. https://t.co/YFrmfbok13

The @Yankees are tired of screwing around and I have the feeling they are not done yet.

Bobby Thompson @BThomps81

Yankees adding Rondon is huge. Gives the team a legit number two SP behind Gerritt Cole.

David Lennon @DPLennon

#Yankees get big rotation boost at reasonable price. NY is the center of the baseball universe this offseason. https://t.co/f6wI4DajuA

Yankees have plenty work to do but re-signing Judge and bringing in Carlos Rodon is a nice start. Couple trades I like out there 👀

Dan Graca @DanGraca

I haven't felt this good about the Yankees starting pitching in years. Truthfully

The Yankees have been one of the best teams in baseball for a while now, but they haven't been able to get over the hump and into the World Series. Rodn could possibly be the missing piece.

It will only be time that tells.
